Working along, Feb 28th price increase looming.

Got Jon's amazingly awesome 29er back from custom paint at Spectrum powder Works, it's stunning - set up for full assemble tomorrow, more pics to come.

Pretty awesome - the basic pretty standard 29er 1-speed coming out of the shop. Two 29er touring bikes in a row, and then two 650B mountain bikes. Right now taking orders for April 2014, prices are going up Feb. 28th 2013, and I may close the build queue until caught up if 2014 fills. I believe in transparency and fair warning. It just helps to be up front.......

The setting sun just does not do this color justice. It's amazing.

And, I got Michael's 700c all rounder ready for paint, one speed and up to a 2.2" tire. A very useful bike.

During polishing.

arm pump after 5hrs solid of polishing - then, I wiped out on the ice three days ago & really jacked up my shoulder - healing up now..back at it ASAP, office day today, much needed to order parts.

Looks good!

Fork close up.

We got a new little monster! "Osa"

A very smart, very busy little girl.That's it for now - healing up the shoulder, ordering parts, and starting a new bike frame tomorrow......

SO, WHAT'S THIS ALL ABOUT, THEN?

Hi! my name is Steve Garro, and this blog is an ongoing chronical of the process of building the finest handmade bicycles I can here at Coconino Cycles, located in beautiful Flagstaff, Arizona.

I'm a one man operation, doing all the design and fabrication in house with my own hands. we have been operating full time since feburary 2003, producing about 20-25 frames a year, as well as handbuilt wheelsets and complete bike builds. every bike is totally custom fit to the needs and measurements of each rider and built from scratch with hand selected tubesets from several premium manufactuers including True Temper, Dedacciai and Kaisei. I pride myself on perfect fit, ride quality, and durability to provide you with the best cycling experence I can. to know more details, check out my web page, http://www.coconinocycles.com/

Please note that as of 1/14 I had a roughly one amd a half year backlog on orders. I have since stopped taking deposits to catch up on work until January 2015

When looking through my blog, you will also see alot of details of my life and pictures of things I like to do and stuff that I think is cool, like handcycling, fishing, boating, friends and family, critters, landscape, and flowers, with some wierd stuff thrown in for good measure. enjoy, and thanks for stopping by - Steve
